"That's right! The right person counts! The old lady's eyes lit up, "Your uncle came that day and brought their daughters, and I think that shepherd is very good!" Your age, appearance, and background are all compatible with you......"
Xu Jiangtian showed a helpless smile: "I guess you're waiting for me here." Sighing, it was finally a compromise, "Okay, I'll go and see, but you don't know if it's appropriate." β
Seeing that he agreed, the old lady smiled, and agreed: "Of course, of course, you young people are still in charge of the marriage matter." β
After telling him about meeting Miss Guan, the old lady excused herself to go upstairs to get her things and leave for a while. Xu Jiangtian knew in his heart that this old lady must have replied to the housekeeper.
Speaking of housekeepers, although they are not a family in Pingcheng, they are also considered upstarts. The family originally relied on real estate, and in recent years, it has also been involved in some film and television cultural investments, especially his eldest daughter Guan Weitong, who married a small artist a few years ago, which can be regarded as completely washing the housekeeper into the circle of cultural people.
With this, although the housekeeper is a new family in Pingcheng, he has gradually taken root.
Xu Jiangtian has always heard that the housekeeper is very strict, and he has also witnessed the demeanor of the housekeeper's eldest sister from afar, just thinking about it, he feels that her sister will not be wrong, so he just agreed to it.
Here, Xu Jiangtian looked out of the window for a while, and the old lady over there had already finished calling and came downstairs. He hurriedly got up and went to help. The old lady pushed him away: "I don't need you to help me yet!" β
Sister Cheng was walking out with a plate of cold dishes: "Xiaotian, the old lady is not convinced of the old!" Don't help her, lest you push and shove her and make her more unstable. β
He let go of his hand, and when he saw that his grandmother's footsteps were still sharp, he did not come forward again.
"Xiaocheng still understands me!" The old lady walked to the sofa and sat down, "What do you see I found from upstairs?" β
Xu Jiangtian looked down at the things in the old lady's hand.
An old photo album.
The yellowed plastic cover is pressed with a rosΓ© jacquard satin cover.
In an instant, his whole head hurt as if someone had grabbed his hair.
His face was still calm: "Old things, what are you doing with it?" "I staggered my eyes and didn't want to look at them.
"It's because it's an old thing, Xiaotian, that I want to show it to you." Old Mrs. Su slowly wiped the dust off the cover, "Aren't all the things you have done in the Xu family all these years for this?" β
She slowly put on her glasses and turned the first page.
A young woman, wearing a short T-shirt and a tennis skirt, stands in front of the camera in a slender posture. She wears a headband on her head, a tennis racket in her hand, and sneakers on her feet.
That was Mrs. Su's only daughter, Su Yun, and Xu Jiangtian's mother.
"Ah Yue has loved to talk and laugh since she was a child, and after marrying your father, your father spoiled her even more unseemly. Look at how many years you've been married, and you're still dressed like a little girl! β
Xu Jiangtian was silent.
"Look, you see, this is when I first had you."
Turned another page.
"You grabbed a pen when you caught Zhou, and you saw that your grandfather was so beautiful...... said that the Xu family wanted to produce a scholar in his generation, but you didn't embark on the road of reading. β
"This is the year to take you back to the Xu family's hometown, look! What do you look like? Xiaotian, do you remember? β
Xu Jiangtian looked out the window. There is a row of tall trees in the yard, and there are gray-blue magpies nesting on the tops, and in the evening all the birds return to their nests, and they both stand on the treetops and sing.
He stared at the pair of magpies and said word by word: "Never forget." β
